*New Date* Join us for a hands-on lecture and workshop exploring practical pruning techniques to help your veggie garden thrive through late summer and into autumn.

The session covers why pruning matters and what pruning maintenance is important throughout the plant’s growth process. Discover beginner pruning techniques, how to encourage healthy growth and improve yield, seasonal veggie garden maintenance, and practical take-home gardening knowledge, with live demonstrations within the veggie garden. There will be a discussion of tool selection and best healthy practices for your plants will be demonstrated.

Live garden demos in the Ecosource garden at the Small Arms Inspection Building, please dress for the weather. Participants will have access to washrooms inside the Small Arms Building.

This workshop will happen if there is light rain and may be rescheduled if inclement weather arises.

About the Instructor: Jo Yetter of CreativeHub has been growing food and propagating plants for over 20 years, centred in a practice of reciprocity and care while fervently continuing in the face of food scarcity and environmental decline. Using a grassroots approach to cultivating plants, Jo has always found a way to grow their own food even if that meant planting in a discarded bathtub on the rooftop of their apartment. Jo’s Masters Thesis Propagation Station explored the intersections of art, care and plant propagation and they have a background as a professional gardener.
